The upside with Frazier is high, and there’s a lot to like about the long, athletic forward. This spring, he’s been active on both ends of the floor and plays with a growing motor that consistently allows him to generate opportunities, most frequently around the rim. Tyran continues to finish well through contact and has a knack for cleaning up possessions inside. He’s also active as a rebounder, most notably on the offensive glass. Defensively, he brings rim protection and the versatility to guard different body types, giving him added value as a multi-dimensional frontcourt piece. The NBPA Camp should give Frazier another chance to show what he can do against other top frontcourt players. If his recent trajectory is any indication, don’t be surprised if he leaves with a strong showing and plenty of attention.

Frazier just arrived at Iowa United Prep this week and hit the ground running in a key league victory on Saturday. One of the most athletic forwards in the country, Frazier moves at a different speed and burst than most prospects his size. Able to finish over smaller defenders in the paint, Frazier can find himself matched-up with wings and guards when he run the floor and beats other forwards down the court. Hoping to see Frazier become stronger with the ball and showcase more ability from a triple threat but the athletic dynamic he brings to Iowa United Prep in the open court and as a rebounder should provide a big boost.

I first watched Tyran Frazier at the Pangos All-American Camp this summer, where he impressed with monster dunks that had fans out of their seats.

Last night, what stood out most was his feel for the game and his consistent impact on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he ran the court hard, made himself a reliable target for his guards, and scored in a variety of ways, including a floater, a tough reverse layup, and a couple of dunks. Defensively, he used his length and athleticism to protect the rim, swatting two shots. All in all, Frazier has an incredibly high ceiling, and I expect more college coaches to be reaching out soon.
